1. Are All Apple Music Songs DRM Protected?

Yes, everything you downloaded from Apple Music including songs, albums and playlists are DRM protected. Apple use a digital rights management (DRM) technology called FairPlay to limit the use of all downloaded tracks. You can only stream the music on authorized devices and you'll need to pay monthly or yearly to keep using the service.

In addition to that, Apple will also add DRM protection to your local music files if you upload them to iCloud Music Library. Therefore, I highly recommend that you create a new folder on your PC and back up all your local music files before you decide to use Apple Music for music streaming.

2. Could I Keep Downloaded Songs from Apple Music After Unsubscribing?

No, after cancelling Apple Music subscription, any songs you've added or downloaded to your Library from Apple Music catalog will be disappear. Even if you get Apple Music downloaded as local files on computer, these files are unplayable because of the DRM-based restriction.
